XBIZ Los Angeles — commonly XBIZ LA, and staged under the broader banner of XBIZ Week — is the adult industry's flagship January conference, held each year in Hollywood and organised by XBIZ Media, the trade publisher founded by Alec Helmy. Where Las Vegas hosts the industry's consumer-facing spectacle in the same month, XBIZ LA is the business end of the calendar: a working conference of panels, workshops, business lounges and closed-door meetings, built for the people who run adult companies rather than for fans.

The week's centrepiece is the awards gala, which debuted in 2003 as the XBIZ Awards and was renamed the XMAs from 2025. Billed as the Adult Industry's Biggest Night, it remains the principal rival to the AVN Awards and the other of the two ceremonies that matter in American adult entertainment. Around it sits a programme that has widened considerably as the industry has: creator economy sessions, platform and payments discussions, legal and compliance briefings, marketing and monetisation workshops, and the technology demonstrations that have replaced what used to be a purely studio-and-distribution conversation.

XBIZ Week has grown into an umbrella rather than a single event. Alongside the conference itself sit the X3 Expo, a large consumer-facing show staged during the same week, the FSC Summit run with the Free Speech Coalition, and a dense calendar of parties, sponsor events and post-conference galas across Hollywood. A single XBIZ LA badge typically covers the conference plus the associated events, which is part of why the week functions as the industry's annual reunion as much as its trade show.

For anyone working in adult content, technology, retail or services, XBIZ LA and AVN's Las Vegas week together define January. Browse our EroticAdvisor guide for edition dates, host hotel details, awards coverage and Los Angeles adult entertainment listings.
